Chapter 59: The King of Killers (Please Collect and Recommend)
Of course King Uther knows this legend. This legend has been circulating for hundreds of years. King Uther knew it when he was a child, but he never took it seriously. But now there are rumors on the market that it has a nose and eyes, and King Uther's interest has also been piqued.
And King Uther is a little stronger than those outside, that is, he knows where the tomb is buried! This matter is recorded in a royal record! Although the words used are all uncertain words like maybe, probably, maybe, but at least there is a direction.
In addition, he was forced to do nothing by money, so King Uther simply killed the horse and used it as a living horse doctor! Anyway, there is no loss even if you can’t find it, but if you find it, you will make a lot of money!
So King Uther immediately gathered people and started digging.
It was at this time that several new faces appeared in Camelot. They first wandered around the city for a few times, and then when King Uther summoned the workers, they blended in among the workers and started their own career as a worker.
At the same time, groups of outsiders who obviously did not belong to Camelot came to Camelot for the reason of seeking refuge. Although they looked honest and friendly, if you pay attention, you will find that although these people seem ordinary, they are actually ordinary people. In fact, they are very alert. No matter what they are doing, they will always pay attention to the movements around them. At the same time, they will try to avoid meeting the soldiers in the city.
These people entered Camelot with various identities and seemed to have no contact with each other, but sometimes they would get together in twos and threes to chat for a while, and then quickly separate. Originally, these special actions of these people could easily arouse the vigilance of the locals in Camelot. →
But during this time, more refugees poured into Camelot. These refugees came to Camelot to take refuge because of the war on the border. These people are not very noticeable among the refugees, not to mention that the whole country is now The whole city's attention was attracted by the war, and no one paid special attention to them.
In this way, their existence has been ignored.
…
The war is still going on.
However, due to Kai's calm command, the battle situation was not too bad. At least Sendrid's offensive was quickly contained at the border of Asdir Ridge. Although Kai was only a platoon leader in his previous life and not really a commander, wars in this era are not as complicated as modern wars, and Kai's military literacy is still sufficient. In addition, Kai would also use some magic means to assist in detection in private, which made him become a famous general.
With Kai's side receiving support from Camelot, they were able to fight more easily, which in turn greatly frustrated the Cendrid Kingdom's offensive. Not only failed to open up the situation, but Kai seized on the flaw and suffered several defeats.
This made Sendrid's King Odin extremely frustrated. He had lost his son, his beloved son, and to make matters worse, he had not been able to punish the murderer. Not only that, his army also suffered huge losses.
The pain of losing his son, the regret of suffering a huge loss, and the urgency of revenge made Odin decide to take a desperate risk!
…
Odin stood in front of his son's temporary coffin, looking sad.
"Aledri... soon, soon, justice will be served! No matter what the cost, I will kill the murderer! I will!"
Odin would come here to visit his son every day these days, and this has become his habit. As for why it was a temporary coffin... Odin decided that if he could not avenge Aledri for a day, he would not bury Aledri for a day.
While King Odin was talking to himself, a dusty knight opened the door. I saw this knight wearing ordinary casual clothes, covered with cold wind and dust. He had obviously just come back from outside.
"Dear Your Majesty! I found him."
Odin did not look back, still looking at his son's armor and helmet, and asked with a dull expression: "Where are the people?"
"He has arrived."
As the knight spoke, a black bald man walked in. This big black man looks ordinary, and his round eyes look a bit honest. But such a guy who looked like a farmer and a craftsman gave people an extremely cold and oppressive feeling. Even though the knights next to him were stronger than him, he still grabbed the long sword at his waist vigilantly.
The big black man didn't have any special reaction to this, but walked in very naturally. While he was looking around, he took in all the layout of the room and the positions of the knights, and finally he turned his attention to King Odin who turned around.
Odin is also looking at this god of death who is famous in all countries.
"Are you Mai Rui? According to legend, you are the most feared assassin in all countries?"
The big black man looked at King Odin expressionlessly, did not speak, and just shrugged his shoulders, appearing extremely relaxed.
Odin did not pay attention to his rudeness, but continued to ask: "Tell me, are you as cold-blooded as the legend says, can you kill anyone?"
The big black man finally spoke. "I have killed many people, and they are all the same to me. Who they are and what they do means nothing to me."
After hearing this, Odin finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the target he wanted to kill was not easy to deal with, but he still asked: "Are you ready to assassinate members of the royal family?"
Mai Rui looked at Odin coldly and said without emotion: "Your Majesty, if someone offered me a price to kill you, you would be long gone!"
King Odin was stunned. He did not expect that the killer king in front of him would be so stunned.
The knights of King Odin beside him couldn't stand listening anymore. They didn't take them seriously at all.
One of the particularly tall and strong knights was so angry that he drew the sword from his waist. Unfortunately, his speed was still slow. The moment he drew his sword, Mai Rui stepped in front of him and hit him directly on the jaw. Without waiting for the knight to react, he kicked the knight on the head with a whip. .
This knight was obviously not a weakling. Even though he was hit twice on the head, he still did not fall down. Instead, he slashed at Mai Rui with his sword.
Mai Rui bowed to let go of the sword, then quickly stood up and hit the knight in the face with his elbow. At the same time, he grabbed the knight's sword hand with his other hand, twisted it with his backhand, and hit the knight's entire body. They all turned over and fell to the ground. Not only that, he also took the knight's sword into his hand without anyone seeing it clearly. When the knight finally came to his senses from the turmoil, Mai Rui had already put a long sword against his chest.
The whole process takes no more than five seconds and is neat and tidy. By the time he had finished fighting, the other knights had just come to their senses.
After restraining the knight, Mai Rui stared at Odin coldly.
But Odin didn't panic at all. Instead, he turned over his hand and took out a bag of gold and threw it to Mai Rui. Mai Rui took the gold and weighed it. It was very heavy.
"I want you to help me kill one... no, two people. One is the murderer of my son, and the other is... the first knight of Camelot - Kai!"
It has been almost twenty days since Arthur killed Odin's son Aledri. This matter has become a big deal, and of course Mai Rui knows it. So Merry wasn't surprised at first, Arthur was worth the price. But Odin's next goal is different.
Mai Rui weighed the gold in his hand, shook his head, and planned to throw the gold back. "This is not enough..."
But before he could throw the gold back, Odin said: "This is a 10% deposit! Kill Kai and I will give you 60%. Kill Arthur and I will give you the rest."
Mai Rui took back the gold in his hand.
"Can!"
